Just a quick question now. (I bet that Sabre would like to know this as well :)).

Is there any way to turn off the “RED TEXT” that appears in the right hand corner for a few seconds when you alter the zoom (- and + keys)?

I find this to be a real pain when your trying to make a screen shot? :(

To be honest, I got rid of all these on screen messages by amending my FSX.cfg

Add the following line to the end of your [MAIN] section of the FSX.cfg file.

HideInfoText=1

This will remove messages such as replay, brakes, virtual cockpit and zoom etc. and takes a little getting used to!

Cheers

Thanks Joe .

That worked a treat, once I found the right file that is :unsure: (it has to go into the "WORD" file, and not the note pad one, like I tried first ;) ).

Oh does it, I put it into the normal FSX.cfg file that's hidden away!!

Hi Graham

You should only open up FSX.cfg with notepad (Right click file / open with / Notepad) as other word processors can corrupt the file.

I have assigned .cfg to open automatically with Notepad by using the above method and ensuring "Always use the selected program to open this type of file"

@ Graeme The FSX.cfg is usually found in this folder C:\Users\{yourname}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX

Thanks Joe, that's the one I thought, Graham confused me with saying the Word version. I have mine set to open with Notepad also. I actually created a shortcut to the FSX.cfg on my desktop for easy access.

Now I'm really curious as to what you do with all of them :D

Some are obvious others less so :o

When I think how many little (and big) hints and tips I've picked up in various topics here at Mutley's some in obvious place others like this one in not so obvious places it's quite amazing.

I was confused myself mate, Especially when I saw that there are two FSX.cfg files in there, one opens with notepad and the other is a word doc :unsure: .

I also used this tweaking tool that Joe has linked in this thread Automated FSX.cfg tweaks have a look, I think that my FPS is better now, as it seems a lot smoother when I pan around in the Do-27 :) .
